lux motion makes a replica kit. Also have a nice spoiler too.

i think alot of people should chill out tho, i think the fake parts hate tops the stance scene. I get where some people are coming from, but i never realized how some people can get so worked up over how another person spends their time/money

personally id like a replica rocketbunny lip kit, for the reasons of itll take a few months before it gets destroyed lol Good luck

Are you saying that because it has some differences in the kit?



Looks very similar however not exactly the same. But then again Grids are not Exactly the same as TE37s but are still considered replicas

Look at the front fender, the rear diffuser, there are some quite notice-able differences. I think the rocket bunny looks way more better than the lux motion, a bit of work on that kit and it can get its customers!

Damn. How pathetic do you have to be to want to use fake parts to fuck up your car? If you are going ugly, at least get the real thing. Give it a bit, China will get around to it. Don't look in the mirror, though, when you start to wonder where all the quality parts went.

Get over the "fake" parts. I'm pretty sure most of the stuff you see nowadays is made in China and the quality could be just the same, in the end they all use the same type of materials to make them, what you're basically buying is the "brand" name. Once again, this is an endless debate if discussed. People have limitations, some might not be able to buy a whole rocket bunny kit for that amount of money mainly because of the money and secondly because of the "just looks" purpose and "bang for the buck" deals are much better since you'll save up for other mods too. Other than that I don't see the reason to go for "replica" kits.

I personally prefer the Lux-motion kit type II. Now if you wish to brand that a replica kit than so be it, but I believe that for those wanting to get some sticky fat tires under one of the twins without having the obviously aerodynamic draw backs of the rocket bunny, ie the tires are not covered in front, it is the way to go. And one last thing are we not bigger than this? Ill be misogynistic for a moment and say shouldn't you put what works, is functional, and looks good to you and let your wife or gf bitch about name brand shit...I for one know that I have yet to figure out my gfs name brand shit...700 for,shoes???

To the OP...without being a jerk like most of the other people...

Replica parts fit like crap its FACT....I dont know personally how the real RB kit fits...it may fit like crap too...but when copying something you lose something in the molding process...then you get a worse fitment then the original. So if the RB kit fit OK then the replica will fit so so...and thats if they make a good mold of the original...

I can speak from Mugen parts only here...and their replicas...a Mugen Fiberglass anything fits like OEM...hands down maybe better then OEM. Their parts are amazing to work with and are built to last. Replicas of the same parts are made with inferior products and to a lower standard.

The way i see it, buy something to buy it ONCE dont waste your hard earned money on trash that youll end up replacing down the road. I hate seeing guys buy something only to break it and replace it later on or buy something to "upgrade it later" Why bother putting some crap on your car as a placeholder? Buying something just to spend $ is dumb.

There are a few REALLY good points about the replicas though. I dont know how what you do for a living but Im an artist and a sculptor, if someone cast something I sculpted without my permission Id kick them in the balls and then punch them in the face. This is called recasting...its frowned upon theres nothing you can do to stop it except by telling people that its not original and not to buy it...but its EASY to do, not easy to do well...its not cheap to do well but it can be done...but if you are paying LESS for something chances are its not genuine, stolen, or broken. Most of the time you do get what you pay for, and when you cheap out it shows in the product. If you dont know this go ahead waste your money on a replica product and park next to the guy with the real deal and compare...youll see the gaps in your stuff and the clean smooth fitment of the real thing.
